Chapter 234 - 234 227 Who Do You Think You Are

234: Chapter 227 Who Do You Think You Are 234: Chapter 227 Who Do You Think You Are “Is there something?” Su Chen naturally heard Gu Yuan’s voice, somewhat surprised, and turned his head to look down.

“Can you…

Can you tell us how you manage to climb so quickly and effortlessly?” Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment before asking.

Now, at nearly four thousand meters in altitude, not to speak of her, Bu Teng, and Qiao Hun, even the old crone and the two old men protecting them were finding it difficult.

Du Xuan Peak was too unique; the higher one went, the steeper and colder it became.

Continuing in this manner, their group might not even reach the Scarlet Origin Cave.

And this was with them having many Qi Replenishing Pills.

Without them, perhaps they wouldn’t have even reached three thousand meters.

So, after much thought, Gu Yuan still decided to seek help from Su Chen.

“Gu Yuan, don’t ask him.

He doesn’t know shit!” Bu Teng was unwilling to hear it.

When he saw Gu Yuan asking Su Chen for help, his face, besides being pale, was grim, and he barked.

“Shut up!!!” But Gu Yuan coldly swept Bu Teng with a glance.

A man could be proud, which was good, but he should not lack the courage to admit someone else was better.

For other things, Gu Yuan dared not say, but at least in climbing Du Xuan Peak, Bu Teng was indeed not as good as Su Chen.

“There’s no special method, just normal climbing!” Su Chen looked down deeply at Gu Yuan and answered.

“You…” Hearing Su Chen’s response, Gu Yuan felt some anger rising within her.

What kind of answer was that?

Too dismissive, wasn’t it?

Next to her, Qiao Hun felt somewhat awkward and said nothing.

Bu Teng snorted, “Gu Yuan, I’ve shut up, but what’s the outcome?

He doesn’t want to tell you!”

“Young Master, please tell the truth.

Gu Yuan will be grateful!” Gu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart and spoke earnestly.

She always planned thoroughly before taking action.

But this time, regarding Du Xuan Peak, she had been overconfident and made a miscalculation.

Though she had made some preparations.

It now seemed, they were far from enough.

Scarlet Origin Cave was at an altitude of over four thousand seven hundred meters.

They had seven hundred eighty meters to go, which might not seem much, but in truth, these seven hundred eighty meters might amount to three thousand meters at a lower elevation.

All six of them had almost reached their limits.

It was going to be incredibly hard to endure until reaching the Scarlet Origin Cave.

Su Chen was, in a way, their only hope now.

“I’ve said what I had to say already.

I indeed have no special method!” Faced with Gu Yuan’s second attempt, Su Chen frowned slightly and then continued his ascent without another word.

“How can you be like this?” Underneath her veil, Gu Yuan’s pretty face was filled with hurt.

Regardless of the reminder she had given at the foot of the mountain or the fact that saving a life was greater than building a seven-story pagoda, why was he so cold-hearted?

“Then what do you want me to do?

Really, how annoying!

To tell you the truth!

I just don’t want to tell you.

Who do you think you are?” Gu Yuan’s repeated questioning as if to ascertain that Su Chen had some special climbing technique annoyed and frustrated him; Su Chen didn’t want to waste more words, so a blunt ‘I just don’t want to tell you’ came out.

After saying that.

Su Chen sped up.

His entire being moved faster, truly like the wind and lightning, heading upwards!

“…” Gu Yuan was silent, but no one knew that beneath her veil, her beautiful eyes began to shimmer with tears, and deep down she felt both anger and hurt.

‘Who do you think you are?’ It stung her.

Who was she?

She was the young lady of the Gu Family!!!

“Miss, we are not familiar with that person, and he has no obligation to help us!” At this moment, the old crone spoke up.

Her name was Sun Yingyu, the Second Protector of the Gu Family, and she had been with them for decades.

She had watched Gu Yuan grow up.

She knew Gu Yuan’s character well: proud, cold, and reticent.

Moreover, Gu Yuan hadn’t left the Gu Family often over the years.

In the Gu Family, as the young lady, everyone was indulgent and spoiled her.

But, now that they were outside the Gu Family and encountered others, not everyone would necessarily indulge, pamper, and defer to you…

“I know!” Gu Yuan nodded, her mood somewhat downcast.

“Gu Yuan, now you understand, right?

Not everyone is as kind-hearted as you.

That damned kid is just proud because of one treasure.

Without that treasure, he would be trash, and I could crush him with one hand!” Bu Teng spoke out loudly, feeling quite pleased internally as Gu Yuan faced a setback—after all, she had scolded him earlier.

“Let’s keep going, we must reach the Scarlet Origin Cave!” Gu Yuan clenched her teeth and said resolutely.

The group continued moving forward.

Step by step, it was extremely difficult.

They stopped talking too, all careful and exerting their utmost strength, occasionally having to use the Qi Replenishing Pills.

Two shichen later.

About 4,300 meters now.

The group continued to rest, but their condition was extremely poor, to the point where the faces of Sun Yingyu and the other two elders looked decidedly unwell…

“Miss, it’s no good, let’s go back down!

Continuing like this is dangerous!” Sun Yingyu said in a grave voice.

Gu Yuan, however, shook her head firmly, “I won’t go down.

We’re so close, we can’t waste all our efforts!”

“But Miss, we’re running low on Qi Replenishing Pills, aren’t we?” Sun Yingyu felt heavy-hearted.

The Qi Replenishing Pills were vital, for everyone’s physical strength was waning, and their ability to press on was largely due to those pills.

“We still have one bottle left!” Gu Yuan told the truth.

“If we use it sparingly, it should be enough!”

“How about this, the three of us go up to Scarlet Origin Cave first, and then lower a rope…” Just then, the bearded elder protecting Qiao Hun spoke up.

This elder was named Qiao Yuan, the Third Elder of the Qiao Family.

“Good idea!” As soon as Qiao Yuan suggested this, the eyes of the elder protecting Bu Teng brightened, and he nodded vigorously.

His name was Bu Shoufan, the Second Protector of the Bu Family.

“The intention is good, but do we even have such a long rope?” Sun Yingyu asked, slightly squinting his eyes.

“That…” Qiao Yuan gave a wry smile and shook his head.

“No, our rope is only about 150 meters long!”

“So, we still have to climb.

But now, we’re only three to four hundred meters away from Scarlet Origin Cave, and our rope is 150 meters long.

That means we only need to climb about two hundred more meters.

With a full bottle of Qi Replenishing Pills, that should be enough!” Gu Yuan’s voice was filled with more determination and excitement.

Once a decision was made.

The group continued to advance.

At this moment.

Su Chen had already arrived in front of the entrance to Spiritual Source Cave.

Quite coincidentally, Spiritual Source Cave and Scarlet Origin Cave were side by side…

Su Chen was now sitting cross-legged at the entrance to Spiritual Source Cave.

He was waiting.

Before, he had explored deep into the Spiritual Source Cave.

The result was quite positive; indeed, no one had entered Spiritual Source Cave before him, and that terrifying True Fire was still inside.

However, for the moment, it was practically impossible for Su Chen to take the True Fire; he needed to wait.

Wait for the True Fire to slumber.

True Fire was also known as the Fire of Nature.

And being the Fire of Nature, the True Fire was Undying and Indestructible!!!

True Fire had a Fire Spirit, and as long as the Fire Spirit lived, True Fire could not be extinguished.

But the Fire Spirit liked to enter slumber, which for it was a form of cultivation, growth.

Su Chen’s luck was not the best; when he entered the Spiritual Source Cave, the True Fire was spreading freely, far from slumbering.

So, he could only wait.

Of course, it wouldn’t take too long; at most a day, or as little as a few hours, the True Fire would definitely slumber.

Time hurried by.

After four to five Shichen.

Clear sounds reached Su Chen’s ears.

They were from the group including Gu Yuan below!

With Su Chen’s hearing, he could clearly make out everything.

“Not a bad method!” Su Chen praised aloud.

He could hear that the three Mysterious Qi Grandmasters at the Peak Phase, along with Gu Yuan and her companions, were separating to quicken their pace up.

“Get some up first, then pull the others after!” Su Chen muttered to himself with a smile.

Soon.

Sun Yingyu, Bu Shoufan, and Qiao Yuan appeared not far from Su Chen, at the entrance of Scarlet Origin Cave.

The three of them let out a sigh of relief, their faces covered in sweat; obviously, they were exhausted.

But then they became extremely vigilant and looked towards Su Chen.

“What are you doing here?” Bu Shoufan asked coldly, as his young master had a bone to pick with Su Chen, he naturally would not have a good attitude towards him.

Especially since Su Chen was right there, appearing to have been there for quite some time.

Su Chen’s presence easily gave rise to suspicions.

“You search your Scarlet Origin Cave, I’ll explore my Spiritual Source Cave, any problem?” Su Chen retorted.
